Oil pressure warning light

It goes out as soon as the engine runs; if it comes on while driving,

stop immediately and turn off the ignition. Check the oil level. If the oil level is normal, the fault comes from another cause.

Coolant temperature warning light

If it lights up, stop and let the engine run at idle for one or two minutes. The temperature should drop and the light should go out, otherwise stop the engine, check the coolant level (after letting it cool down), check the belts.

Maintenance

ENGINE OIL LEVEL

• An engine normally consumes oil for lubrication and cooling of moving parts and it is sometimes necessary to top up the oil between oil changes.

Periodically

- The elimination of engine oil changes between 1000 and 3000 km does not exclude checking the oil level periodically, approximately every 1000 km and, in any case, before each long trip, on pain of risking engine damage.

Level

• Engine cold or after a long stop, it is measured using dipstick 2 and should never drop below the "mini" mark A.

Filling

Cap 1. Top up the level with the same oil as the previous oil change.
- Do not exceed the "maxi" mark B.

Warning. During work under the engine hood, the cooling fan can start running at any time.

ENGINE OIL CHANGE

Periodicity

• Perform more frequent oil changes if used intensively.
  -- In any case, perform engine flushing
